Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.1143

First Line: God make my life a little light,

God make my life a little light
Within the world to glow ;
A little flame that burneth bright,
Wherever I may go.

2 God make my life a little flower
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.

3 God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad.

4 God make my life a little staff,
Whereon the weak may rest ;
That so what health and strength I have
May serve my neighbours best.

5 God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise ;
Of faith — that never waxeth dim,
In all His wondrous ways.
